Bill > SCR1047

This resolution establishes an Attorney General Marijuana Enforcement Fund, which will be used to investigate and prosecute fraud related to marijuana licenses, support social equity programs, assist individuals with prior marijuana convictions, and provide grants to communities disproportionately affected by past marijuana enforcement. It also allows the Attorney General to appoint a receiver to oversee marijuana establishments in the social equity program if fraud or other violations occur, and outlines qualifications for these receivers and their duties, including preserving the establishment's value and facilitating license restoration. Furthermore, the resolution makes elected or appointed officials personally liable for knowingly approving public funds for individuals who are not U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents, and establishes civil penalties for various fraudulent activities involving state agencies or political subdivisions, including presenting false claims, using false statements, or obtaining licenses through fraud, with potential penalties including fines, triple damages, and revocation of licenses.
